module Netcgi_fcgi:sig
..end
FastCGI connector.
Remark: This connector does not allow requests to be multiplexed (and let it know to the web server via FCGI_MPXS_CONNS=0). Multiplexing requests is seldom done by FastCGI modules and is even sometimes impossible because of bugs in them. Moreover, multiplexing is mostly useful if concurrent requests are handled by different threads while this library use a single thread to process all requests coming on a given connection. If the need is felt (speak out!), a multithreaded connector can be built on the side of this one.

The usual Netcgi.cgi
class with FCGI specific methods.

run f
register the function f
as a main function of the
script. Each call to the script will execute f cgi
. The code
outside f
will be executed only once (when the script is
loaded into memory) which allows to cache database connections,
etc.
config
: Default: Netcgi.default_config
allow
: Tells whether a connection from the socket is allowed.
Default: Use the comma separated list given in the
environment variable FCGI_WEB_SERVER_ADDRS or allow all
if it does not exist.output_type
: Default: `Direct ""
arg_store
: Default: `Automatic
for all arguments.exn_handler
: See Netcgi.exn_handler
. Default: delegate
all exceptions to the default handler.socket
: is a listening socket to use. Overrides sockaddr
and port
.sockaddr
: tells on what socket to contact the script. If
not specified, the script expects to be launched by the web
server and to communicate with it through stdin. For external
scripts (launched independently of the web server and possibly
on a different machine), set sockaddr
to the address the web
server needs to connect to to talk to the script (this address
must also be specified in the web server config file).port
: alternative way to specify sockaddr
listening to
localhost only. If you would like your FastCGI program to
be accessed from a different machine, use sockaddr
instead.
Your application should be ready handle SIGUSR1, used to
resquest a "graceful" process shutdown, and SIGTERM to request a
quick shutdown.val handle_request : Netcgi.config ->

: This is a lower-level interface that processes
exactly one request arriving on the existing connection fd
.
max_conns
is passed to the FCGI client and indicates how many
connections this server can process in parallel.
log
is the error logger function or None
, in which case
errors are passed through to the FCGI client.
The other arguments are just like for run
.
The return value indicates whether the connection can be kept open or must be closed.

: if true, only one request is processed over this
